Default Camshaft Upgrade?

Hey guys, I'm currently running a smallish cam 222/224, (don't have the lift specs with me), and a set of Mike Norris Stage 2 CNC heads with moly pushrods and Comp 26918 springs. Car dynoed 418RWHP with the present setup and I was thinking of going with a larger cam. I've looked a most of popular large cams being used by other board members. BTW the car is a 2000 FRC 6 speed Vette, LG long tubes, Vararam, Norris Dyno tune, LS6 Intake, bolt-ons, etc.

Don't have much info on the heads, they were put on by the previous owner.

Anyways wanted to see what you guys thought, is it worth it? What kind of gains, if any, could I expect. Cam recommendations?

Thanks.

I've liked the results i've seen on here with the LG G5x3 or G5X4, but i'm taking a good look at the cam Patrick G is running- thunder racing 224/228 .637/.639(LSK lobes) 110 LSA or its equivalent in the XER lobes. this cam makes monster torque.

but i still think you make good power under the curve. this is the only reason why i haven't jumped into bed with a monster cam yet.
